  1. Can a minor play in WTT (big events)?

    If he were obligated to play only the youth series, what event would he have beaten the injured ZJK? ...
  2. Andro NUZN 55 or XIOM Jekyll & Hyde c55?

    Except that C55 is not "fully tacky" like an H3/Battle 2/3/K2 chinese rubber at all.
  3. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    That's is basically my conjecture.
  4. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    The cheapest I could find on sale :-) Honestly, the performance of these two rubbers seems very similar to me, and I cannot find anything one of these does vastly better than the other. I've got each on a pair of HL5s and the only thing I notice is the more polished handle on my main bat when...

    Price reduced again!
  6. final of the Hereford Titans Veteran Tournament 2024 (Aug 25th)

    Those long serves are actually well disguised, with a fair amount of spin/placement variation and aren't always no spin. I got thoroughly bamboozled by them in the group! There's a video to prove it 😜 The fact that Darren was able to return them so consistently is a testament to his playing...
  7. final of the Hereford Titans Veteran Tournament 2024 (Aug 25th)

    Huge thanks to @MOG for organizing and running another great Hereford Titans Veteran Tournament over the course of the last weekend! Figured you guys would enjoy the video of the veteran (over-40) final. Reasonably very high level amateur table tennis - John and Darren are 8 and 14 on the...
  8. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Whatever it is was "made possible by AI", lol.
  9. Does anybody else mentally fall apart against pure pushers or weird styles?

    Serving BH when under pressure is a very underestimated tactic. There is no need to get into receiving position after the serve - you're already there ready to receive short or long on both wings - so much easier to attack the third ball, etc. Well done and congrats.
  10. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Never played with those.
  11. Does anybody else mentally fall apart against pure pushers or weird styles?

    Well, once I got "lucky" and played against a retired former multiple Latvian champion in a tournament and all she did was push and chop with some slow thin inverted rubbers, kinda like Eugene Chtchetinine. I really struggled to open up against her pushes let alone rare repeated chops when I did...
  12. FS: [ALL BLADES SOLD]

    Thank you for confirming!
  13. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    3 week old C55 (9 x 2 hour practice sessions plus a 2 day tournament, 15 matches). Still very playable.

    Nexy Chedech is reserved sold.

    See high-res photos here.
  16. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    To me, both K3 Pro/C55 sound very similar when one makes the same kind of ball contact with each.
  17. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    I'm not sure what you mean by "clicking sound".
  18. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Both K3(pro) and C55 are ESN-made, are they not?
  19. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    Could be that the harder sponge takes longer to lose its original feel/performance. The top sheets on k3 and k3 pro are the same. Plus I haven't played with my rubbers for as long as you have. Will try to remember to update this thread in a month or two.
  20. XIOM C55 Impressions and Comparison with H3N

    PSA: Before you give all your money to TT11, read this. K3 Pro and C55 appear to have exactly the same topsheet and very similar sponge. I've been playing with K2 since 2019, and now that it is discontinued, decided to find an alternative for the next 5 years :) Below you will find two photos...
